Were to start, everything was going great!! Surgery was 8/9 everything was great but on 8/22 I started running a fever, went to the ER 8/23 early am said I had bronchitis. Gave me some nasty tasting meds which my tummy did not like and if that wasn't enough on 8/25 I woke up with the worst pain in my life in my right leg and grion. Long story short I have a very extensive blood clot in my right leg. My doctor put in a filter before my surgery to protect my lungs from clots but it had moved and let some clots get thru to my lungs so I have bilateral clots in both lungs, I have spent 6 days in the hospital and have had another Vena Cava Filter placed .I am still in alot of pain. I want my life back.I am so messed up with my diet and trying to get the meds in I don't know if I'm coming or going or what I'm s to be eating. I just want to cry a lot. Ok I've wined enough for now. I hope everybody is doing great pre and post op!! Thanks for listening Linda
